Owing to regular revision, the Modern Construction Handbook has become a classic in advanced building construction literature, not least because of its clear structure covering the chapters ‚Material‘, ‚Wall‘, ‚Roof‘, ‚Structure‘, ‚Environment‘, and ‚Applications‘.
For the fifth edition, a large part of the 3D presentations has been redrawn, all six chapters have been revised and updated.
New standards have been established for this handbook, which is a basic resource for many architectural study courses, by adding more component details, new examples with a focus on sustainability and energy consumption, and a major update on finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
